Wellington House, London, United Kingdom. Architect: John McAslan & Partners, 2012. Detail of sandstone facade with windows.
The architectural language of Wellington House is based on a contemporary interpretation of the conventional mansion block. Design development has addressed the fact that the triangular site sits within a conservation area, and careful consideration has been given to the building’s Indian Sandstone façade. The building’s fenestration is essentially ordered, with deliberate variation achieving a balance between an individual window element and the complete ensemble. Projecting masonry fins create an additional visual dynamic, enhanced by the oblique views of the building afforded by the local streetscape. The fins also provide a degree of shading and privacy.
